I just bought this on dvd and freaking loved it. When I heard this was going to be set in japan and have nothing to do with the first two I lost interest. But lin did a great job here. The cinematography was excellent and I never realized how beautiful japan really is. I also liked how he toned down the races, which made them much more realistic. The soundtrack and score by brian tyler was pretty good to. MY only complaints were that the yakuza didnt seem that dangerous and I wished sean would have had to have down more illegeal things to get into the group.
